Here is the Hama Flashpen USB Flash Drive 1GB

- USB - The term meaning -USB - Stands for Universal Serial Bus - This is a standard port for computer components to be connected using a single universally read interface socket. Most PC and laptops have these ports available in their masses; however, it determines on the age of the workstation. The device port is to improve the plug-and-play capabilities by allowing devices to be connected and disconnected without restarting the workstation, therefore saving time and losing any information through the rebooting process. USB ports are used by external devices such as digital camera's, printers, hubs, extra storage/CD/DVD drives etc.

- The USB Flash Drive 1GB data storage -The external portable drive is also known as a key or a stick as seen above in the title. The length is 2 inches long with a socket at the end which goes into the USB port/hub on your PC. The PC recognises this device as an external device and when slotted in as a driver the PC will display the external drive, with a prompt.

- Hama Portable Drive -The Hama Pen drive is the same size as a pen-knife .The 1GB memory capacity has been available for over 18 months on the high street; it 's usage is for transferring uncompressed media files. It is a very valuable tool when sending data to different locations or moving to via many workstations.

- Flash Pen memory -The Flash Pen 'memory ' is a method of storage speed. All Flash drives work twice as fast as a many other lower specified memory drives. The standard reading rate, well the transfer rate of 28MB's is a rate per second, and that is halved when transfering data from the key to another workstation. The Flash Pen stoke media key can communicate from different digital components -- such as MP3 Players -- Digital Cameras -- Handsets -- and most digital devices. The speed won't be noticeable unless you are transferring a file of over 256MB; then the speed of transferring would be an issue. Flash memory facilities are a lot cheaper than other memory systems such as EECOM products.

- Price - The Hama Flash Pen Drive -1GB is priced at £9.99 (retail)-- 6.5/10 value for money. It is worth a shop around as these types of digital ware such as the Flash storage memory devices as they do go down in price quite steeply as there are a lot of demand for them.

-Overal verdict- This really is the simplest form of digital hardware to use. The 1GB of capacity space stores loads of files but not too many media files. It is compatible for cross purpose platforms PC/Mac - or on Laptops.
